Cosmically Bound

Chapter 12 I would rather stay asleep. (Nellion)

"Continuing, Fellion has...solar powers you could say. His powers drain him the most out of anyone since he's a robot and all and being the 'literal' sun makes him overheat. He can create solar beams, and teleport just like we all can, but that's more of a spell than a power. He can control aspects of light in a way, like he could take away all of the light in a room forcing you into complete darkness. But for him that takes a lot out of him and he would have to focus. Oh, and he has the ability to tinker with our shared soul, just ours though. If any of us could take our soul it would be him." I paused making sure Mendora was listening before I continued. "Esmeray has the funnest powers in my opinion. He can control gravity, for example making someone float, the most he could do with that is make a black hole but—that would take everything out of him. Just like Fellion, he can create mini solar beams but his are called 'star beams'. Last but not least he can also create hallucinations, and he can...if I'm not mistaken hypnotize people." I took a quick pause before adding. "Any questions before I continue?"

I stared straight at Mendora who repeated everything I said under her breath. She gave herself a quick nod of approval then looked back at me and gave me confirmation that she understood.

"Yep, I think I got it." She confirmed letting me go on.

Taking a quick breather I answered her other question.

"Right, the uhm...soul thingy. Me, you, Fellion and Esmeray all share one soul. A human soul, oh and trust me I don't even want to know what that human did to piss off the witches. Whatever they did they're dead now and a part of us. If you ever got that nagging feeling while you're doing something and you realize that's not you doing it. Might just be...what you could call the 'Fifth Sibling' among us. None of us know anything about them, just that their soul powers all four of our bodies. From what you said Fellion wants that soul all to himself to have absolute power?" I questioned, making sure I didn't get anything wrong, I didn't want to sound dumb.

Mendora gave me a quick nod, but before I could say anything she cut me off.

"Yes but—that's what he said he wanted, our shared soul. So that his powers wouldn't affect him as much so that he could reshape the world. He really doesn't like humans, and any living being in this dimension and the other." Mendora cleared up.

Scratching my arm I tried recalling anything that might help us understand his full goal. I refrained from scratching my skin off. But just like any villain Fellion's reasons were kept pretty hidden, but I did know he hated everyone and everything so that made sense. But still, the thought nagged my mind like I was missing something, all of this didn't add up. Fellion had Mendora right in front of him when this whole thing started when I had to teleport her to safety. He also had me and Esmeray, now Esmeray was, who knows where and I was trapped in the dream realm. Couldn't he have taken our soul right then and there? Did I even have my soul? Maybe he took mine and Esmeray's soul fragments without us realizing, then it would have made more sense why he was so powerful. But he didn't seem to be all mighty powerful, if I went head-to-head with him right now there was a possibility I could succeed. Still, as much as I didn't want to admit it I was out of shape, there was a chance, and it wasn't guaranteed. A shiver ran down my spine, all these questions with no answers. It was driving me nuts, this whole thing was. Twenty-three years and no goddamn answers. I slouched my back and thought. If only the witches could see me now, what would they think? What would my witch think? The thoughts throbbed up my head like a headache that wouldn't go away. That would never go away. It was ridiculous that I've even spent so long with no answers. I wondered if I was accidentally saying this all out loud because Mendora was looking at me worried. I forced myself to sit back up straight as Mendora chuckled. I knew we were both thinking the same thing. How could we be so stupid? This entire war was pointless, and I wasn't even in the war. I wanted to think of anything positive, then I remembered Luciean. His name made my heart flutter, it made my Noctyrix hiss and coil away, reeling from the thought of love. I still remembered his soft touch, his emerald eyes, and his hair that looked like the sun blessed him. The way his dirty blonde hair was always messy, the soft fuzzy antennas he had, the way his moth wings looked like sun catchers, his soft amber lips. A faint blush appeared on my cheeks, but I forced myself to hide it away. A mortal and a non mortal, a dragon and a human. Even if I wasn't fully immortal it counted, and even if he was part moth it still counted. It was forbidden. Everyone disagreed with our love, of my love for him. The way he would stay with me just to see me smile, the way he would take the blame for anything I did wrong. He made me feel more human...and less Noctyrix. The thoughts made me miss him more, remembering him hurt. Would he still love me after all this time? I shuddered thinking of it, I still remembered him all this time, but would he remember me? I thought of it as more of a statement than a question. Surely Mendora noticed because she spoke my mind as if she could read it.
